The Chain Keeper is a guide to keep your chain right where it belongs. Mounted in place of a front derailleur, the Chain Keeper works with single chain ring drivetrains using a narrow chain. The chain block surrounds the chain as it meets the chain ring and prevents it from skipping off.

Should we bring back #FixtureFriday? This modular Should we bring back #FixtureFriday? This modular desk mount fixture was 3D printed to hold our BËPs during assembly. It uses an extra short version of our Quick Release to clamp 4 BËPs at a time while we slide the o-ring onto the wedges and tighten on the caps. I know, a lot of fuss for a simple bar end plug, but that’s just how we do it around here, because BIKE NERDS.
Applications for the next round of BIPOC Bike Adve Applications for the next round of BIPOC Bike Adventure Grants are now open – providing free bikepacking gear, cash, and mentorship for community initiatives. 
 “The BIPOC Bike Adventure Program is an effort to reduce the barriers to bike adventure for BIPOC people. 
  We recognize that this is a small step in the face of systemic racism and entrenched inequality, but we believe that bicycles and the outdoors are for all, and that everyone should have access to the freedom, joy and self-actualization they provide.
 We also know that there are many barriers to multi-day self-supported adventures to be dismantled before beginning to bikepack, such as finances, equipment, confidence, experience, camping skills, and access to routes.“
 Head over to the link in bio at @bikepackingroots to learn how you can take advantage of (or support!) these programs.

Did you know that Chico’s annual Bidwell Bump moun Did you know that Chico’s annual Bidwell Bump mountain bike race predates the first Repack?! 
  It’s a beautiful rugged loop with a creek crossing in Upper Park, and registration is still open for this year’s October 5th running. Head over to @bikereg and type in Bidwell Bump to get in on this historic race, and all proceeds go to Velo Trail Works. 
  Also, if you want to read a hilarious recounting of the first race in 1976 by local legend Chuck Bodfish (keep in mind, mountain bikes weren’t really invented yet), head over to the PAUL Comp website and type “Bidwell Bump” into the search bar.
